American Motors Matador

The Matador was a coupe marketed by AMC in the seventies. Its name comes from the "killer" in a bullfight. The word "matador" is often mistranslated as "bullfighter". The actual Spanish name for a bullfighter is "toreador". The Matador competed in NASCAR and was often labeled the "flying brick". The Matador is featured in James Bond movie The Man with the Golden Gun. A special Barcelona edition was offered with various luxury options, and was named after a city in Spain.
